This report presents the results of the design tradeoff studies task conducted as part of the Electric Vehicle Design Program. A baseline vehicle is presented together with an analysis of the effects of variations in vehicle and battery parameters, and alternative propulsion system configurations, on vehicle operating range, cost factors, and performance. The vehicle design which provided a basis for the tradeoff studies offers minimum seating for four people. The body is of unitized construction, in steel, with the batteries accommodated in the central tunnel. A front motor/front drive package consisting of an eleven inch frame 96 V series motor driving through a 3 speed automatic transmission (no torque convertor) is used. Motor control is by an SCR controller, and approximately 1280 pounds of lead-acid batteries are included in the 186 A-hr., 96 V battery pack. All components are existing commercial designs. The projected characteristics of the vehicle relative to the major ERDA design goals and cost estimates are presented and compared with hybrid-flywheel-electric vehicles. (ERA citation 06:028925)
